A Conversation with Jill Lepore: We the People

About the Event

Talking San Diego welcomes best-selling author and renowned Harvard historian Jill Lepore for a conversation with Harry Litman about Lepore’s landmark forthcoming book, We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution.

Contesting both originalism and the Supreme Court’s monopoly on constitutional interpretation, Lepore argues that the framers never intended for the Constitution to be kept, like a butterfly, under glass, but instead expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it, improving the machinery of government. In the dazzling new book, as in her public commentary, Lepore offers a sweeping, progressive, and democratic constitutional history with many lessons for our troubled present.

Best of all: the event is a chance to purchase a copy of We the People well before its national September 16th release date.
